The fish is grilled whole, not sautéed, so that the rich, smoked flavors are locked in. The Village Voice calls Nargis Cafe's grilled trout "unstintingly fresh," "of mutant size," and "crackling and succulent"-while calling the rest of the tantalizing menu items "delicious" and "superb."
To complement this healthy and tasty dining choice, the grilled fish are served over a delicious vegetable mélange, so that you can keep your healthy new year's resolutions-and still enjoy robust dining.
"We are committed to providing menu variety and exceptional value for our patrons, which is why we have expanded our menu's fish offerings," said the Nargis Café's founder and chef-extraordinaire Big B. "There're few things better than grilled fish to beat the winter's chill."
"The Perfect Dining Atmosphere"
But it's not just our menu that's gotten bigger - the dining room's also been enlarged to capably handle even our busiest nights, no matter the size of your dining party. As part of the Nargis Café's client commitment, we've renovated to enhance our exceptional menu. Said Chef Big B: "We've completely renovated and expanded our dining room to create the perfect dining atmosphere to enjoy our authentic central Asian cuisine."
The new dining room features elegant Uzbek wall tapestries, discreet lighting, a warm and vivid color pallet, and private tables for romantic dining. "Our dining room is ideal for couples and families-there's great food for everyone-and a wonderful dining room to enjoy our classic cuisine in," said Big B enthusiastically while flipping a whole trout on the grill (using both hands!)
